Release date is not the same as creation date, so the day we created the article wouldn't matter. It's not uncommon for dates to be used when referring to comic book characters or TV shows with multiple reboots or retoolings, which is why I suggested it. Even if a certain design's lifespan lasted longer than one year, it is still refered to by the year it was first introduced.
